    The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies Joumal ofJndian and Buddhist Studies Vol, 64, No. 3, March 2016 (261) Times of Chan Buddhism duringthe and Hsing Yun: Yixuan Applying Chinese Chan Principles to Contemporary Society SHIJuewei i} Lirlji Yixuan uttaXil( (d. 866) and Fo Guang Hsing Yun es)kZg:- (1927-), although separated by rnore than a millennium, innovatively applied Chan teachings to the societies in which they lived to help their devotees discover their humanity and transcend their existential conditions. Both religious leaders not only survived persecution, but brought their faiths to greater heights. This paper studies how these masters adapted Chan Buddhist teachings to the woes and conditions of their times. In particular, I shall review how yixuan and Hsing yun adapted the teachings of their predecessors, added value to the socio-political milieu of their times, and used familiar language to reconcile reality and their beliefs. Background These two Chan masters were selected because of the significance of their contributions. Lirlji Yixuan was not only the founder ofa popular Lirlji2) school in Chan Buddhism but was also posthumously awarded the title of Meditation Master of and Wisdom Illumination(HuizhaoChanshi ue,H", maeM)(Sasaki Kirchner 2oog, s2) by Emperor Yizong em7 of the Tang dynasty (r. 859-873). Hsing Yun, a very strong proponent ofHumanistic Buddhism, is currently the recipient of ls honorary doctorate degrees from universities around the world (Shi and Weng 2015). To have received such accolades, both Chan masters ought to have made momentous contribution to their societies. Although Yixuan and Hsing Yun had humble beginnings, they were well-grounded in Buddhist teachings.

  • Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’S Urban Renewal
    Journal of Archaeology and Anthropology‧75:37-70‧2011 From the “Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb” to a “Memorial Park for Women Laborers”: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Memory in Taiwan’s Urban Renewal Anru Lee∗ and Wen-hui Anna Tang** ABSTRACT This essay looks at the recent renovation of the Twenty-five Ladies’ Tomb, and examines the politics of the feminist movements and the politics of memory as they are expressed through different meanings of female ghosts, in southern Taiwan. People who were involved in the renovation process included the families of the deceased “twenty-five maidens,” the Kaohsiung city government, and feminist groups in Kaohsiung and elsewhere in Taiwan – most notably the Kaohsiung Association for the Promotion of Women’s Rights – all of whom had different considerations and therefore diverse expectations regarding the future and purpose of the tomb. In Specters of Marx (2006), Derrida uses the idea of “specters” and “haunting” as consequences of historical injustice and tragedy metaphorically but powerfully. These two elements come together in our essay as well. However, the “ghosts” in our accounts are more literally ghosts with whom some (if not all) of our ethnographic subjects interact. They appear, express their sorrow, and demonstrate their grievances. The reestablishment of peace and order essential to residents of both the living world and the afterlife thus hinges upon mutual understanding and close collaboration between them. Yet, as meanings are constantly contested, so is the nature of the deceased’s requests. The different interpretations that the (living) socio-political forces give to the deceased’s needs open up new terrains of contestation for the memory of the past and the rights and obligations at the present.

  • Geology and Ecology of Taiwan Prehistory
    2°3 2 Geology and Ecology of Taiwan Prehistory C. C. LIN National Taiwan University QUATERNARY SYSTEM IN TAIWAN Quaternary formations are scattered on Taiwan island and its satellite islets and can be grouped into three classes according to their origins and morphologies; (a) terrestrial facies; (b) marine facies; and (c) igneous and pyroclastic rocks. Among these, the terrestrial facies which is largely confined to the interior of Taiwan island and its coastal terraces and river banks, is composed of gravels, peats, lateritic soils, sands, and muds. The Huoyenshan conglomerates of the T'ouk'oshan group of the Lower Pleistocene is an exception, however; this is distributed among the hills of western Taiwan to form a peculiar badland topography. Among the marine facies, the T'unghsiao formation of the T'ouk'oshan group is distributed in the hill and terrace area of western Taiwan, on the Pescadores, and in the Taiting coastal range of eastern Taiwan. Later marine facies are located on the coasts of the main island of Taiwan and various islets nearby. The Quaternary igneous rocks arid pyroclastic rocks are found on or in the Pescadores, the Tat'un and the Keelung volcanic groups, Ts'aolingshan near Tahsi, Chienshan near Hengch'un, and the Agincort, Crag, Pinnacle, Kuishan, and Small Botel Tobago islets. QUATERNARY SUBDIVISIONS The correlation of the Quaternary formations on Taiwan is indicated by Table I. Accordingly, the Quaternary of Taiwan can be subdivided as follows: B. Holocene Epoch A. Pleistocene Epoch 2. Peipinian Age 5. Milunian Age b. Anp'ingian Subage 4. T'ainanian Age a.

  • Solar Radiation Estimation Algorithm and Field Verification in Taiwan
    energies Article Solar Radiation Estimation Algorithm and Field Verification in Taiwan Ping-Huan Kuo 1 ID , Hsin-Chuan Chen 2 and Chiou-Jye Huang 3,* ID 1 Computer and Intelligent Robot Program for Bachelor Degree, National Pingtung University, Pingtung 90004, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 School of Computer Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Zhongshan Institute, Zhongshan 528402, China; [email protected] 3 School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, Ganzhou 341000, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 May 2018; Accepted: 22 May 2018; Published: 29 May 2018 Abstract: The power generation potential of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system is closely related to the on-site solar radiation, and sunshine conditions are an important reference index for evaluating the installation of a solar PV system. Meanwhile, the long-term operation and maintenance of a PV system needs solar radiation information as a reference for system performance evaluation. Obtaining solar radiation information through the installation of irradiation monitoring stations is often very costly, and the cost of sustaining the reliability of the monitoring system, Internet stability and subsequent operation and maintenance can often be alarming. Therefore, the establishment of a solar radiation estimation model can reduce the installation of monitoring stations and decrease the cost of obtaining solar radiation information. In this study, we use an inverse distance weighting algorithm to establish the solar radiation estimation model. The model was built by obtaining information from 20 solar radiation monitoring stations in central and southern Taiwan, and field verification was implemented at Yuan Chang Township town hall and the Tainan Liujia campus.
